Iiri aasta nooreks teadlaseks valiti 13-aastane Emer Jones, kes sai austava tiitli tänu oma uuringule, mis puudutas hädaolukorra tõttu liivakottidest ehitatavaid kaitsevalle. Neiu uuris, mis materjalid baixing võiksid aidata kaitsevallil püsti jääda maavärinate ja tormide baixing puhul. Emer Jonesil õnnestus näidata, et kasutades kihtide vahel tavapärased okastraadi asemel puidust või bambusest keppe, võib saavutada samasuguse püsivuse, kuid oluliselt väiksema raha eest.

Girl (13) named Young Scientist baixing of the Year A 13-year-old Kerry student has become the youngest ever to be named Young Scientist of the Year for her project entitled "Research and Development of Emergency Sandbag baixing Shelters". Emer Jones, a second year student from Presentation School, Tralee, Co Kerry, was this evening presented with a cheque for €5,000 by Minister for Education Mary Hanafin. Emer was entered in the junior section baixing of the Technology category and was the first ever winner from Kerry. According to the judges Emer's project "examined the use of native materials to enhance the stability of emergency sandbag shelters used in disaster relief. "Based on the award-winning sandbag shelter developed by Nader Khalili of the Cal-Earth Institute, Emer examined what materials could help the shelters stand up to earthquakes and high-winds. "Emer was able to demonstrate that using wood or bamboo sticks between the layers instead baixing of the normal barbed wire method could deliver the same stability at much reduced cost. This also made deployment baixing of shelters much faster as these materials are more readily available." The individual runner-up was Henry Glass from Clongowes Wood College, Naas, Co Kildare for "The Detection and Locating of Food by the Slug, Limax pseudoflavus", which was entered in the Intermediate section of the Biological & Ecological category. He was awarded €1,200 and a BT Perpetual Trophy. The Best Group award went to cousins Edel and Fiona Ryan from Holy Rosary College, Mountbellew, Co Galway, for their Social baixing and Behavioural category project in the intermediate baixing section entitled "Living to Teach or Teaching to Live?." Both girls received a prize of €2,400 and a BT Perpetual Trophy. Runners-up in the group category were Ellie Townsend, Lisa O'Sullivan and Ciara McCarthy from Colaiste Choilm, Ballincollig, Co Cork. They were awarded 1,200 and a BT Perpetual trophy for their project entitled baixing "Let Rip the Physics of Perforations" entered in the Senior Section of the Chemical, Physical & Mathematical category. The girls also won the Intel Travel Award and the Institute of Physics Special Award. Chris Clark, chief executive of main sponsor, BT Ireland, said: "Forty-four years on and the exhibition goes from strength to strength. As the organiser, we invest in this event as it encourages baixing students and schools through the 32 counties to have a passion for science and technology. "This year's winner is a brilliant example of the creativity and ingenuity we set out to find each year through organising this showcase." In total 1,128 students competed this week in 500 projects from 31 counties across Ireland.
